About Us
ARMR Systems develops hemorrhage control systems designed to increase the survivability of traumatic battlefield injury in situations where advanced medical support is not immediately available.
The Problem
Every year, 90% of preventable military deaths are due to hemorrhage. We think this is unacceptable and are doing something about it.
The Problem
Every year, 90% of preventable military deaths are due to hemorrhage. We think this is unacceptable and are doing something about it.
1 out of 4 preventable military deaths among U.S. Troops are caused by non-compressible hemorrhage. These are wounds you can't put a traditional tourniquet on.
90% of preventable military death is due to hemorrhage. Soldiers don't have access to needed tools to stop bleeding fast enough and often die in transit to the forward operating surgical unit.
Common Regions of Injury
Non-compressible junctional hemorrhage – traumatic bleeding in the groin, upper thigh, and axillary regions – is especially difficult to treat by current means due to complexity of the anatomy within these areas.
The human body has 5L of blood and rapid loss of 40% (2L) is fatal. On the battlefield, this can happen in as little as 2 minutes after traumatic injury to major arteries.
“...there was no effective means to control or temporize junctional or truncal sources of hemorrhage in the battlefield. This signifies a clear and persistent gap in medical treatment capability that has been present for the entire history of warfare and well documented for nearly a century.”
The Solution
ARMR Systems is engineering the world's first wearable hemorrhage control systems to stop the bleeding anytime, anywhere.
The Solution
ARMR Systems is engineering the world's first wearable hemorrhage control systems to stop the bleeding anytime, anywhere.
Early on, our team realized developing truly original and effective solution would require an equally original approach.
Principled DESIGN
Exceptional design starts by understanding the user needs & environmental parameters. Throughout our creative process ARMR has been committed to designing devices anchored in the following 5 core principles.
“The challenge of effectively treating massive hemorrhage is not the availability of effective technology but the ability to design a solution that utilizes the tools and mechanisms appropriate for the combat context.”
Collaborative IDEATION
ARMR is committed to collaboration and has worked across institutions to develop our technology. Our multi-disciplinary team of innovators guarantees multiple perspectives and paradigms are being used to evaluate a problem. Throughout our journey a variety of institutional and individuals partners have been essential to the progress and milestones we've achieved thus far. Below are only a few of the great partners we're continuously collaborating with:
Original PRODUCTS
Our team is engineering a whole new class of medical device that can provide life-saving hemorrhage control more quickly, reliably, and flexibly than can any solution on the market today. The result of our unique design and technology paradigm is a system that will provide a new gold standard in first responder prehospital care.
